So proud…?? Emily your resilience and determination is admirable! Recovery is something I share a passion for. I have never ran a marathon or done a Hyrox, which some may believe it’s the only justified reason to have an Ice bath ??. Recovery in fact is never linear and can look different from person to person, but the power is prevelent in everyone’s life. For people like me, who were naive to the vast benefits Recovery Therapy can offer - here’s just a few: ????♀?The power of Recovery: From Physical Therapy to Mental Wellness????♀? 1. Water Therapy ?? PHENOMENAL for inflammation, balancing cortisol, and improving circulation. Enhancing energy levels, cardiovascular health and pain relief. 2. Infrared Saunas ?? Infrared saunas are a fantastic way to detoxify the body and boost recovery. The heat penetrates deeper layers of tissue, promoting cellular repair and blood circulation. The heat is also wonderful for unwinding and relaxing, especially on those extra chilly days. Amazing for easing muscles, relieving tension and activating the autonomic nervous system. 3. Mental Health Benefits ?? Beyond the physical, these small practices have profound effects on anxiety and mental health. Bridging the connection between mind and body. Stimulating endorphin release and lowering baseline cortisol levels. High cortisol levels can slow down our nervous system functions, including metabolism, immunity, hormone release, and blood pressure, and can significantly affect our mental well-being It is so important to take care of yourself and your body, as little habits can make such a big impact on our overall wellness. Plus, it’s just a lovely wellbeing activity, either solo or with a group! ??Slightly bias, but Emily is nothing short of inspiring. From a young age, she has been business savvy and entrepreneurial - even when it came to lending me a hairband! It fills me with absolute pride, she has now built something so special from a place of pure passion. Reco HQ, the new franchise for people looking to take the reins back on their body, a beautiful contrast to the current market of recovery offerings. And if you have any takeaways, take a moment for your mind & body this weekend???? #mentalhealth #wellbeing #therapy #RecoHQ #recovery #womenempowerment

ABC Fitness truly believes physical activity is key to living your best life!? Gyms, sports and physical activity aren’t accessible for everyone, which is why ABC Fitness supports the Physical Health Investment Today (PHIT) act. #fittech #ABCFitness

If physical activity is the lifeblood of health in this country, our facilities and green and blue spaces are the bones on which our health is built. Across the country, gyms, pools, leisure centres, community sports grounds, rivers, parks, and school sport facilities are essential in providing safe spaces for people of all ages and backgrounds to be physically active. The health of our nation depends on these facilities and spaces thriving, and that they can be accessible places within and for communities. Sport England’s recent Social Value report found sport, recreation and physical activity had a yearly social value of ￡107.2 billion. This includes ￡96.7 billion in annual wellbeing value, as well as a further ￡10.5 billion in wider savings to the health and social care system a year. However, recent years have presented a series of challenges to the maintenance of and access to our facilities and these spaces. Amongst other things, Covid, energy crises, and reduced budgets (especially at local Government level) have depleted reserves and placed many facilities and spaces in a difficult position. Through backing facilities on the high streets through business rate reform, providing long-term security for and investment in public leisure and sports equipment or venues, and protecting and enhancing the quality and accessibility of community facilities, our green and blue spaces, and all places that support physical activity levels, this Budget presents an opportunity to back the sector’s ability to deliver on the Government’s priorities. The Government can send a clear signal that it is unlocking the potential of sport, recreation and physical activity to boost growth, productivity and create a healthier nation. By securing the long-term future of our facilities and spaces we can increase physical activity levels, ensure future generations are able to be active, and can make sure that the social value of sport and physical activity continues for decades to come.

Eight years ago, Luke Hartelust was an oil rig worker, stationed 450 kilometers off the coast of Western Australia, living a life far removed from the health and wellness sphere. The turning point came when he decided to take a leap of faith, leaving his job to introduce F45, a then-emerging Australian fitness franchise, to the Southern Californian market. With no prior experience in the U.S., no contacts, and driven solely by grit and a profound belief in his vision, Luke embarked on a challenging yet rewarding path. Navigating through uncharted territories, Luke's leadership and strategic acumen saw the rapid scaling of F45 locations across Southern California. This venture not only reshaped his career but also laid the groundwork for his next groundbreaking project, MNLY. MNLY, conceived from Luke’s deep understanding of men's health needs and the potential of AI, offers a precision health product and platform specifically designed for men. This innovative venture uses AI to pioneer solutions for men's health issues, a field often overshadowed in the health and wellness industry. MNLY stands as a testament to Luke’s commitment to making a significant impact in the realm of personal wellness. At the core of MNLY is a philosophy that resonates with Luke's personal journey: understanding that to make real changes, one must first recognize the unknowns and the unmet needs. This principle, “men don’t know what they don’t know,” underpins the mission of MNLY, offering tailored health and wellness guidance that many men are unaware they need. Luke's days are a blend of entrepreneurial rigor and personal commitment to health and wellness. His ability to juggle the demands of leading a thriving fitness franchise and a cutting-edge health tech company is not just impressive but inspiring. In Luke’s story, we see the essence of true leadership – the ability to turn challenges into opportunities and a vision into reality. His experience with F45 and MNLY provides invaluable insights into overcoming adversity, strategic thinking, and the importance of understanding one's market. These lessons are not just vital for business success but are equally applicable in personal development and growth. For you ALL, his journey with F45 and MNLY is more than just a success story. It’s a narrative that showcases the intersection of health technology, entrepreneurial spirit, and the transformative power of understanding and meeting the unspoken needs in men's health. As Luke continues to drive MNLY, his story serves as a powerful reminder of how innovation, resilience, and a deep understanding of one’s audience can create not just a successful business, but a movement that changes lives! In Luke Hartelust's journey, we see the future of men's health and wellness being redefined, one innovative step at a time. Want to know more?
